I have been posting ad nausem since November 2016 that since Mr. Trump is now president you can CAN NOT relax. Many of you have not heeded my caution and continue to keep your heads down and not get ready to what is coming down the pike. You are wasting the time that the good Lord has given you to prepare both spiritually and educationally.
Jackalope posted the most recent rant from
ThePatriotNurse on USA CW II Subject Line and I finally got a chance to watch it. Well in my honest opinion, she nails it.
One idea that she came up with was to "starve the beast" and in this case she means not paying taxes. No, no, not paying your taxes on April 15th of each year but by not buying things in actual retail establishments. Barter when you can. Grow your own vegetables. Raise your own protein. Share tasks with your neighbors. Trade your time for the needs of others for products and their time or expertise in the present or future. In essence, starve the food that feeds the government.
The government that takes YOUR money and turns it back onto you in the spirit of, infanticide, religious persecution, further restrictions on the original Ten Bill of Rights Amendments - YOUR guaranteed rights. The list goes on and on. The way you can fight back now is to stop paying the beast.
If you think that, "when the SHTF, I will start my
victory garden" and start to raise my own protein - You will fail and run with your tail between your legs back to the federal teat for food. I have been seriously gardening since 2013 with a goal of producing 80%+ of MrsMac and my vegetables for a year. The best we have ever done was 50%. However, every year our production gets better and better. We are learning from our mistakes and what mother nature may throw our way at times.
How much protein do you procure through hunting, fishing, or raising protein on your homestead. That is a rhetorical question hence no question mark. Okay, I have raised a hog every year since 2013 except for this year. I have bought feed from a feed store but never raised feed on my own. Yes, I am part of the problem. I now grow chickens not for meat but eggs. Again, I buy their feed from the local Agway - My bad on both accounts. With that written, I bet I know a shiton more about doing it then most folks nowadays.
When are you going to at least grow enough veggies for you and your family with enough left over to barter or feed your protein? Depending where your homestead is, you need a minimum of 1,000-sf per person just to grow enough vegetables for a single person's diet. More if you want seed for the following year and for bartering let alone for your protein stocks.
With this rant almost done, I challenge all the folks at UP to begin growing vegetables if you haven't in the past
this year. If you do have a small garden, I challenge you to enlarge it this year, then can your excess. If you have a big garden, big enough to feed your family, then start to grow protein. Chickens at first, then expand to what your property will support. Rabbits, turkey's, goats and sheep come immediately to mind.
If you take up this challenge, not only will you be putting quality products into your family's belly - You will learn things today for when the SHTF down the road. Plus, you will be starving the beast.
Freedom Through Self-Reliance!
